Three years ago a stiff wind blew Megan MacKay from the shores of Prince Edward Island. She landed with a bounce on STU campus, where the next logical step for her was to study journalism. Now entering her final year, she will be splitting her time equally between her studies and tap dancing for spare change.

It’s cheeseburger day

cheeseburger-bed-300x204

Congratulations. It’s been two long months since you made the resolution to live a healthier life- no red meat, regular exercise and really taking your horoscope into consideration before making any decisions. So far, it’s impacted your life for the better. Lately, however, you’ve been feeling a little soft. Not in the abdominal region- oh [...]


AID Goat Corner: Proper Winter Wear

goatcoat-300x232

An Interesting Diversion presents Goat Corner, a feature where we discuss the issues that are most important to goats. Goats, it’s time to get real. We had a nice break there for a while, but winter is now back in full force. You got to prepare yourself! But just because you gotta cover it up, [...]


All Grown Up

pebbles-212x300

I decided that I was going to buy a sugary breakfast cereal. I said to myself  “Yep. I’m a grownup now. If I want to start my day with a colorful bowl of sogging, sugar coated styrofoam – by golly you know I’m going to do it.” And I jumped and thrust my fist into [...]


BA stands for Bad Ass

Rambo-300x238

It’s the time of year where folks who are graduating start thinking about getting there hands on their T-ring. Not me, no sir. Upon graduation, I will walk across the stage with my “T” Brass Knuckles, because my CV will read Megan MacKay- Bad Ass. Every step in my ascension to academic greatness will be [...]


The Rage: Weird and Wrong 2

rage-300x273

I made a trip uptown to the Dollarama the other day and I came across these knock off 5-hour energy jobbies called Rage Shots. I purchased one, brought it home, took a snap off of it. What happened next is the subject of our sequel to weird and wrong. I made my roommate try the [...]


The Littlest Hero

Canadian Television star and vigilante The Littlest Hobo stopped by the legislature to lend a paw to the NB Power Protest. “He kinda just showed up here,” one man said “No one saw where he came from… or where he went too.” Organizers were baffled when the Shepherd approached them and asked to join in [...]


Out of the way, swine flu

rabies1-300x258

Hey guys, have you ever heard of the H1N1 virus? Just kidding! I know you’ve got your shot. I got mine twice, just to be EXTRA sure. Now, I don’t know about you, but I’m super bored of being scared of the swine flu. We need something new, something fresh to worry about.  I’ve got [...]


The MDG: Beer Pong

Beer-Pong-300x294

An Interesting Diversion continues to hunt for the Most Douchiest Game with our next reader chosen candidate: Beer Pong. I’ve been hitting my head against the wall for days trying to find something funny to say about this game, but in all honesty what more comedy can be spun from a game whose motto is [...]


Where Funny Comes From

where-funny-comes-from-266x300

As an endowed member of the Academy of Science I would like to share with you a part of my study on what is funny and what is not funny. It comes down to the actual anatomy of the human being. Comedy is brewed exclusively in the testicles. Only those members of the species who [...]


Country Doctor- Where you at?

country-doctor-300x223

As I sat in a crowded after-hours clinic waiting room watching a parent try to coerce their coughing child into putting on a surgical mask, I became nostalgic for much simpler time. A happier time. A time I wasn’t  present for, and I’m only 68 per cent sure I’m not making up. The time of [...]
